Talltale - 26 Lyrics

String up lights in my rental while the world falls apart
Fall asleep to the shows that I've already watched
Want security of feeling like it's all got a plot
When I know there's not

Heard you get out what you put in so I never stop
And if it don't work out, wasn't doing enough
So now I can't sit still or alone with my thoughts
Know I'm lucky but I selfishly want more than I got

I know in the end
That it's all irrelevant
Everybody now's not getting f*cked up for the hell of it
But to forget
That this is all part of the American dream
Paying off debt that'll outlive me

I don't wanna wait
Feels like all my life
Is building up
To getting by
I don't wanna hear
Things'll be alright
I'm tired as shit, 26, and out of time

I don't just want what I want, no, I want it young
So every second's spent stressing on what I haven't done
I know, I know, I'm so sorry, yeah I miss everyone
We'll catch up when I'm finally someone

I hope in the end
Looking back I won't regret
That I never went out and got f*cked up for the hell of it
Never forget
That this is all part of the American dream
(Whoa)
This dream's gonna die with me

I don't wanna wait
Feels like all my life
Is building up
To getting by
I don't wanna hear
Things'll be alright
I'm tired as shit, 26, and out of time

'Cause to be honest
I'm not where I wanted to be
Yeah honestly
I'm not quite where I wanted
Yeah to be honest
I'm not where I wanted to be
Yeah honestly
I'm not quite where I wanted

(I'm not quite where I wanted)

I don't wanna wait
Feels like all my life
Is building up
To getting by
I don't wanna hear
Things'll be alright
I'm tired as shit, 26, and out of time
